She's talking about updates and changes to the Vikings uniforms that the team will unveil Thursday, April 25, during the NFL draft party at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.

Local designers and football fans weighed in on what they would want the Vikings first uniform revamp in seven years to include -- or omit. Opinions ranged from highlighting Minnesota's Scandinavian heritage to making sure some of the players' athletic builds don't fall victim to fashion.

Felicilda was adamant about the horns from the Norseman logo that adorn the helmets: "It's a tradition, and it's who we are."

Christopher Straub, a designer and former contestant on the reality TV show "Project Runway," said it's time for a makeover.

"I think it makes sense for the Vikings to make slight changes to their team colors. The current scheme looks outdated and could benefit from a face-lift," he said. "Performance wear has its own set of rules. It has to be visually appealing and perform a function at the same time."

Several NFL uniforms have been given a makeover recently. Last year, the NFL's licensing agreement with Reebok expired, and Nike took its place with a promise of redesigned uniforms with a "body-contoured fit."

But some of the redesigns have brought calls for a do-over.

Take, for example, Alex Boone of the San Francisco 49ers.

He complained that the team's new jersey was too short at the waist and exposed the player's midriff.

Local stylist Grant Whittaker advised that jerseys should fall just below the hip for a universally flattering fit.

"Some of our Vikings players tend to have great waistlines, and some of them do not," Whittaker said. "You want sportswear or clothing to be flattering.

This works for the guy with the belly and also for the guy who has an amazing body."

Whittaker also is a fan of jerseys that are not too baggy so players don't appear larger than they are. Such a design is also functional. Opposing team members can't tug as easily on jerseys when trying to tackle -- not that anyone can get near last year's MVP Adrian Peterson when he's sprinting down the field.

Speaking of function, Emma Holcomb and Sarah McArdle of the local design outfit MAI specializing in sportswear, said the new uniforms are a chance to design athletic wear using some of the latest technologies.

"They've come out with a lot of great performance fabrics," Holcomb said. "I think the uniforms still need to have some body and structure, but at the same time, they're coming out with materials that are more lightweight and breathable."

But that technology can backfire. Vikings punter Chris Kluwe hopes there's a lesson to be learned from a Detroit Lions miscue.

Some stretch and ventilation panels on the team's new uniforms turned dark from sweat. The result was a see-through effect -- or what some coined as "sweatbox."

"It looks like a diaper," Kluwe said.

When asked about Vikings uniform changes, Kluwe added, "What shade of purple it is, I don't care as much. Honestly, all I worry about is if the seams in the pants are comfortable. I don't want to have restrictions when I kick."

While some images of the Vikings' uniform redesign were leaked online earlier this week, the Vikings said on their Twitter feed, "There is so much more to come on Thursday."

Vikings spokesman Jeff Anderson said fans have been able to participate in the "Vikings Uniform Insider" campaign in the past few weeks for some sneak peeks and close-up shots of the updates.

"We have heard from many of our fans regarding our uniforms, and we felt now is a good time to introduce a new look," Anderson said. "We are confident fans will appreciate this uniform change."

Details already released by the team have included small changes to the Norseman logo. It'll get a thicker mustache. Early reports also predicted that the yellow on the uniforms will be replaced with more of a golden hue.

Such small tweaks are fine with fans such as season ticket-holder Bill Spear of New Brighton. He has been cheering on the team since the Viking's first season in 1961. He said he would have more of a problem if things like the team's purple and gold colors were not as prominent.

"I don't mind minor changes," he said. "As long as the main design remains classic."
